Chapter 977 Walking on the Beach and Picking up Leaks From Street Stalls

Severton, old town.

It was a rare leisure time before the celebration. Xia Duo took Niya to the beach north of Giles Tower. They wandered here and listened to the sound of waves crashing on the shore. They felt that time had slowed down a lot.

The winter sea breeze was blowing on the face, but it was still warm at the same time, which surprised Xia Duo, who had never spent a winter at the seaside.

This also made him gradually slow down, until he finally stopped, turned to face the sea in the north, and raised his head to better feel the warmth of the sea breeze.

When Niya saw this situation, she couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering, "Don't tell me that there is no sea in your hometown!"

"Of course, but my family doesn't live by the sea. Strictly speaking, this is the first time I've been so close to the sea!"

Xia Duo stretched out his feet to explore forward, and was immediately separated from the rushing waves. In fact, before today, he also had the opportunity to come to the beach, but due to various reasons, he was unable to do so.

In fact, if he hadn't happened to come to Severton, he wouldn't have thought of seeing the sea at all. After all, he cared about too many things, and the sea wouldn't even be on his list.

Maybe when the floating city is built in the future, we can take a long-term world trip with our family and see the strange scenery in various places. As for now, there is no need to force it.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, glanced at Niya, and then continued walking along the beach to the west.

"By the way, nothing happened in Severton in recent days, right?"

"What could happen? Isn't it just a challenge from Master Cormanthor? In the past few days, several Nese mages have made a fool of themselves on the spot, but no one from the Seven Towers participated. Now the Cormanthor elf is so arrogant!"

"Um."

Xia Duo nodded and did not continue to ask. He had no intention of pushing forward. He just thought that the princess was planning a special ceremony involving many people and things.

And the Cormanthor elves are like this now. Do they know something and are deliberately causing destruction? Or do you know nothing and are just as arrogant as ever?

Thinking of the mystery locks and fish-people that appeared inexplicably in Lake Macht in the south, Cormanso probably didn't know everything, but it might still be a little short of the real key point.

Chateau pulled away his perspective and thought from a higher perspective. What Cormanso did might not be the final madness that he knew but could not stop.

It depends on the celebration the day after tomorrow, everything will be clear then!

…

Just as the two were walking silently in the sea breeze, Niya suddenly asked: "Are you worried about the celebration the day after tomorrow?"

"Worried? Why?"

Being called out by someone, even if it was his wife, Xia Duo was still a little flustered. More importantly, he didn't want to show his weakness in front of Niya.

But after all, the two of them had been getting along for a long time and were very familiar with each other. Niya did not confirm or deny what Sha Duo said, but told her own thoughts:

"I'm very worried. In fact, I've been worried ever since you pioneers were left in the demiplane.

"There was no such New Year celebration in previous years. Look at Severington now. Although there are a lot more people than usual, there is not much festive atmosphere!

"The closer we get to the celebration, the more worried I am, worried that something unpredictable will happen!"

Having said this, Niya stopped and looked at Xia Duo seriously, "I really regret coming to Severton now!"

Xia Duo sighed in his heart, knowing what Niya meant, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

But some things are not so easy to escape. If it were before coming to Severton, there might be a chance to escape, but now that the rehearsal is over, if he dares to run away, then the princess may have the intention of killing him!

"Don't worry too much. Do you trust your teacher? Do you trust the authority of the Seven Towers in Netheril? If you do, then there will be no problem!"

These words were actually what Xia Duo said to comfort himself, but there was another sentence he did not say to Niya after that, that is, if something unexpected happened, it would be so shocking that even the Seven Towers would not be able to contain it, and Netheril would be overturned. Not impossible.

However, the probability of that situation happening was too low, and the consequences and impact were too serious, so Xia Duo didn't say anything.

"Okay, don't say these disappointing words!"

He lightly bumped Niya's arm with his arm and pointed to the city not far to the south, "Didn't you say you wanted to go shopping in the old city? Let's go there now!"

"Aren't you looking at the sea?"

"You can look at the sea anytime, but if the treasure is bought by someone else, you will never get it again!" Xia Duo joked.

In fact, he was not very interested in the so-called picking up leaks.

Generally speaking, adventurers who are able to explore deep into ruins are sponsored by spellcasters or even personally involved. The ruins items that can flow out may have passed through countless sieves.

How can there be any high-quality relics that can be picked up by those who miss them?

To put it bluntly, even if you can pick up some high-quality products, it is just an extra layer of ancient filters and may not be better than what you have now.

If you want to actually pick up relic items that are still high-end goods now, the probability is not much higher than winning the jackpot by buying lottery tickets on earth.

However, there are often rumors of someone picking up someone in Severton. Niya is not experienced in the world, so after hearing too much, she will naturally think that I can have sex with me, but Xia Duo is not like this.

…

Following Niya all the way from the seaside to the southwest corner of the old city, the two stopped at the door of a small shop that didn't even have a sign.

The door and windows of this small store face west. The not-so-wide store entrance is almost crowded with small stalls of adventurers. It is called a stall, but it is actually a gray cloth two or three feet square, filled with various gadgets.

But after all, it was Niya who found the missing place. Even without magical vision, Xia Duo found a lot of magic items. Of course, there were more ordinary items.

However, there were too few people here. Except for him and Niya, two newcomers, and five or six adventurer stall owners, there were almost no other customers.

"Niya, are you sure someone has picked up something good here?"

"Of course I'm sure. Belera bought a mithril jewelry here. She discovered a brand new element unit from that jewelry and created a new spell!"

Of course, it was impossible to say such words directly in front of the stall owner. Niya told Xia Duo through a summons, and there was even a hint of excitement in her words.

So that’s it!

Xia Duo suddenly realized that there was a big difference between having someone around him who had personal experience and hearing from hearsay.

Of course, this is still a game of probability, perhaps with a higher probability, but he still doesn't like this kind of game of probability.

However, as long as Niya is happy, she doesn’t lack the money anyway.
